This is the greatest! Rory Gilmore really does have a pretty awesome life. I used to be obsessed with Gilmore Girls a few years ago. I still love it. Nice playlist; I like the song “There She Goes.” I remember that was in the pilot. I love that you do these playlist things because I’m introduced to even more great new music!

This is the greatest thing ever, no really, it is. By the by, if I had an idea for a Rookie playlist, could I submit that, or would I just have to make it myself and not say it’s related to Rookie at all (because it’s not). It’s a Hanging out with Joan Watson playlist, I’m still working on it, but I don’t know…

  You can definitely submit it!

perfect as I’m trying to channel my inner rory and do some school work i’ve ignored for far to long. And belle and sebastian! They were Lane’s favorite band if I remember correctly. It’s been 12 years since I was into this show, omg.

Nadifa November 2nd, 2013 12:16 PM

HAZEL how did you know like 75% of these songs were what I listened to heavily while applying for college? I love this playlist.
petiteframboise November 2nd, 2013 12:34 PM
I’m glad this playlist has been made and I’m definitely going to listen to it, but how – HOW does it not include any PJ Harvey songs? With the whole “PJ Harvey’s a woman” thing I thought she would be an obvious choice for a Rory Gilmore playlist…
Sofia Cort's November 2nd, 2013 4:38 PM
LOOVE THIS PLAYLIST <3
Conana November 2nd, 2013 8:00 PM
This is perfffffect <3 I love Gilmore Girls <333
Sonya November 2nd, 2013 8:08 PM
I have no words for how amazing this is
JadeTayla November 2nd, 2013 9:42 PM
I always wanted to be Rory! She is just AMAZING and The Gilmore Girls was my favourite show to watch with my mum growing up (even though I was probably WAAAY too young to be watching it!)
Jessisjess November 3rd, 2013 12:12 AM
the only thing about this that is better than the fact that it is gilmore girls is the fact that i remember clearly when hazel tweeted that she was going to start watching this. AND NOW SHE IS CONVERTED! I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN. how could it not!???? ( proud of you Hazel)

AnaRuiz November 5th, 2013 2:18 PM
This came just in time with my general feeling that I need Gilmore Girls back in my life.
madame_addie November 5th, 2013 6:52 PM

HANGING OUT WITH SETH COHEN would be the best thing ever <3
- cloudinthesky November 9th, 2013 10:40 AM
  Omg yes yes yes please!!!
  - beralee November 12th, 2013 3:12 PM
    I still don’t understand why there isn’t more of the OC on this website!
Maisie November 8th, 2013 5:35 PM
I cried when I saw this playlist. I used to watch Gilmore Girls all the time when I was in foster care. Rory and Lorelai’s relationship was so amazing but I always thought the real star of the show was Lane who probably deserved her own spin-off series.

Love you, Rookie! I’m still waiting for Lane Kim playlist!
